Or:

  - add new pacakges, kodi-libdvdnav, kodi-libdvdread, kodi-libdvdcss

Not that it is much better than having them managed by Kodi.

Except that those managed by Kodi would be downloaded at configure or
build time, not when doing 'make source', so we could not do an off-line
build. That alone would warrant they be separate packages, IMHO.

Of course, this then raises the questions:

 1- can they replace the existing ones for other applications?
 2- would they conflict (filenames) with the pristine versions?

     1 | 2 | Solution
    ---+---+--------------------------------------------
     N | N | separate, unrelated packages with no "depends on !the-others"
     N | Y | dunno...
     Y | N | virtual packages for each, like libjpeg?
     Y | Y | official ones "depends on !the-others"
